VARIETIES OF FRUITS. 73 



VARIETIES SUITED TO LATITUDES. 



Having now given a table of a select list of varieties of 

 the Apple, we will here designate those which we count 

 most valuable for the range of climate. The periods of 

 ripening are given in the foregoing table, as near as can 

 be computed, over the whole territory of the United States. 



LIST FOR THE LATITUDE ABOVE 43. 



Varieties: Gravenstein, Duchess of Oldenburgh, Te- 

 tofsky, Red Astrachan, Hawthornden, are varieties of for- 

 eign origin, but trees hardy and productive. Bentley's 

 Sweet, American Golden Russet, Porter, Fameuse, Jona- 

 than, Winesap, Benoni, Ohio Nonpariel, Pome Gris, Red 

 Canada, Lady Apple, Maiden's Blush, Bethlehemite, Kes- 

 wick Codlin, Wealthy, Gilpin, Ribston Pippin, Mother, 

 Lowell, Early Strawberry, Peck's Pleasant, St. Lawrence, 

 Tewksbury, Winter Blush, are varieties of reputed hardi- 

 hood, and productive. Lady Crab, Marengo, Hyslop, 

 Coral, Chicago, Chase's Winter Sweet, Cherry, Hutchin- 

 son's Winter Sweet, White Winter, Transcendant, Pow- 

 ers' Large, are of the Crab-apple class, and all regarded 

 as of value, where others fail. The above line of latitude 

 ranges all above the vicinity of Boston, Mass., striking 

 above Buffalo, N. Y. and Lansing in Michigan, and so on 

 to the Pacific Ocean, with varying ideas of that broad 

 shore. 



We present herewith a few illustrations of what are 

 called Crab-apples, believing them to be of value where 

 trees of a more delicate nature cannot be grown.
